Bringing Up Bebe

I like the food section & the idea that they are women, not just mothers & it's nothing to be ashamed about. Oh, & "le pause"..it helped a lot..my lo "did her nights" at 6wks..didn't get to finish the book though.I'm sure the rest was good..I'd take what you can out of it, but don't feel forced to follow all of it

Meh. I thought it was moderately well written and somewhat entertaining. But it was fraught with generalizations and stereotypes. To call something the "French" way is a gross over generalization of an entire society. I am equally irritated when "American" is used to describe a certain way of doing things.

Also, as a dedicated breast feeder, I question modeling much of anything after a country with the lowest breastfeeding rates in developed countries.

I didn't find any revelations in the book, though I did find some parallels in the way we already parent in our home.
